The inner experience

JAGGI VASUDEV, founder and head of the ISHA Foundation, Coimbatore, was the chief guest of honour at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, West London, on March 9. He gave a lecture on "Yoga, meditation and spiritual healing".

His teachings, both at home and overseas, and his guidance have helped many relieve their physical and mental suffering. The special programmes have cured chronic diseases like asthma, hypertension, diabetes, rheumatism, sinus, and obesity.

These programmes have been tried on prisoners serving life-terms at the Coimbatore Central Jail and the results have been creditable.

Vasudev has termed his search and findings as "the art of effortless living", which the West calls "positive thinking". They have been practised at various centres in the United States, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Switzerland and Canada.

On March 8, Vasudev, gave a lecture at the Gita Bhavan in Manchester. Dr. Padmaja Saraswathy Swaminathan, a medical practitioner and convener from Chennai was in charge.
